We did it again! The CLSA Flying Scot Fleet once again held the Glow in the Dark regatta. With eight CLSA Scots participating and seven Scots from out of town, the third annual Glow was, as Chris Wojnar has noted, a rousing success. Race committee chair Nick Schneider, with help from his wife Angela, ran two races Saturday and two Sunday.
On Saturday the morning started out calm and thick with fog, but by the time we were ready to begin, the fog had cleared and the winds were light … that is, until a rogue squall from a nearby thunderstorm cell showed up, knocking over several boats. Luckily no one was injured, no boats were damaged and everyone hung out on shore for the rest of the afternoon. Only two boats, both from CLSA, needed a rescue from the Mid Illini Sail and Power Squadron, whose members provided crash boats both days. In a textbook operation, Gary Magnuson helped right Ben Williams and Deb Aronson in their new boat Sophie within minutes and Stephen Gibson lent a hand to Chris and Rick Wojnar.
 That evening, in what is becoming a tradition, we had a steak cookout with several kinds of salad and desserts, including a birthday cake for Nick’s birthday.
On Sunday the day dawned a little less foggy and everyone was nourished with a hot breakfast cooked by CLSA members and Scot sailors Joe and Denise Karbarz. We squeezed in two great races before our time ran out and the wind picked up. By the end of the day the lake was full of wind surfers!
